GDS Passengers Details
Applicable to pure TR on 668 and 618 tickets
1. All passengers’ names must have a title.
2. Passenger titles accepted are: MR / MRS / MS / MISS / MSTR
3. Date of birth for pax is mandatory
4. Surname must contain a minimum of two characters
Adult
• Adult titles are MR (male), MRS and MS (female)
• If a party has two passengers with the same name, differentiate them (e.g. adding a different title or middle initial), or booking can be rejected.
• If agents cannot differentiate using titles or middle initials, agents have to interchange the surname and given name of the second passenger.
E.g.: Jamal Tan, Jamal Tan
First passenger : 1TAN/JAMAL MR
Second passenger : 1JAMAL/TAN MR
• For a passenger with compound names, remove the spaces if the name is listed as the first name in the passport.
E.g.: James Robert Bryce-Buchanan should be listed as 1BRYCEBUCHANAN/JAMESROBERT MR
If the name Robert is listed as a middle name in the passport, it should be listed as 1BRYCEBUCHANAN/JAMES ROBERT MR
• For passenger with a single name, indicate FNU if first name is unknown or LNU if last name is unknown
E.g. Last Name : Aminah First Name : Unknown
1AMINAH/FNU MS
E.g. Last Name : Unknown First Name : Aminah
1LNU/AMINAH MS
• For passenger with single initial as the given name or surname, combine first and last name together as surname and use the title as the first name
E.g.: Jacob/A MR, B/John MR
1JACOBA/MR
